IT would be hard to find another couple as odd as Peppino and Valerio, the main characters in the creepy Italian thriller “The Embalmer.”

Peppino (Ernesto Mahieux) is a fiftyish, pint-sized (think Danny DeVito) taxidermist with bad teeth, terrible taste in clothes and feet that don’t touch the ground when he sits. He speaks with his hands and refers to himself in the third person.
